For many years, soccer fans in the United States have kept track of so-called, "American Exports," the group of players who plied their trade on the other side of the Atlantic.
The American players overseas were often seen as the top talents this...

BOCA RATON -- It is the great debate of American soccer.
There is no doubt that in the long-term picture the U.S. men’s national team will only get better as Major League Soccer improves. The U.S. is no different than any other country in the...

Landon Donovan took a big step toward a record-tying fourth World Cup appearance when he was included Monday in the 30-man provisional squad U.S. coach Juergen Klinsmann called into this week’s training camp at Stanford.
The team will begin...

Landon Donovan will not be playing in a record fourth World Cup for the U.S. this summer after the Galaxy star was left off the final 23-man roster announced Thursday.
Released from the team along with Donovan were forward Terrence Boyd, midfielders Joe Corona and Maurice Edu, and defenders Brad Evans, Clarence Goodson and Michael Parkhurst.
The timing of Thursday's announcement was a surprise since U.S. Coach Juergen Klinsmann said he intended to wait until the June 2 deadline to submit the roster....

— Ten doesn't go into three very cleanly or easily. But that's the math facing Coach Juergen Klinsmann and the U.S. soccer team less than three weeks before the 23-man World Cup rosters are due.
Klinsmann invited 30 players to training camp, which began Wednesday at Stanford University. And providing they are all healthy, as many as 20 of those players have a pretty good chance of being on the plane to Brazil.
So that leaves 10 men competing for what may be no more than three spots. And no...

Landon Donovan took a big step toward a record-tying fourth World Cup appearance and Galaxy teammate Omar Gonzalez moved closer to his first when both were included Monday in the 30-man provisional squad U.S. Coach Juergen Klinsmann called into this week's training camp at Stanford University.
The team will begin gathering Wednesday for three weeks of practice and two exhibition games before the June 2 deadline for paring the team to the World Cup limit of 23 players.
"The good thing about the next...

The temperature at Stanford Stadium hung around 90 degrees Thursday afternoon, a few welcome degrees cooler than the day before. But none of the players competing for a spot on the U.S. World Cup team were complaining about the weather.
"It’s going to be warm like this down in Brazil. So it’s good to get us acclimated," said Michael Parkhurst of the Columbus Crew, one of 11 defenders competing for a spot on the U.S. team.
Coach Juergen Klinsmann has invited 30 players to a three-week...

The United States Men’s National Team will go to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil without perhaps its most iconic player, Landon Donovan.
But coach Jurgen Klinsmann included Crofton native Kyle Beckerman and former Maryland players Omar Gonzalez and Graham Zusi in the 23-man side that will be on the plane to Rio.
Beckerman, a 14-year MLS midfielder who went to Arundel High, has not featured heavily in the national team for much of his career. He featured for the under-17 national team in the 1999 U-...

The question made Jermaine Jones laugh.
A day after Coach Juergen Klinsmann cut Landon Donovan, the most accomplished player in U.S. soccer history, from his World Cup roster, Jones was asked whether he liked the team that was left.
"I have to like it," he said. "The coach is the guy who makes the decision. So yes, I'm OK with it."
And if anyone wasn't OK with it, they weren't saying so Friday.
"Once you make the selection, then everybody's in," captain Clint Dempsey said. "We're all in it...
